Same old incorrigible Jewish Exponent. Think this is misleading context?

"We’re going to have targets on our backs,” he said, noting that he’s one of two Jews on Penn’s team, along with sophomore Zack Kaminsky from Atlanta."

I have no idea what he was talking about. Seems strange.

He was talking about being defending champ, and the writer interpolated the Jewish thing on his own.

You are making a connection that exists only in your mind.

No, he's not, although I think it's just poor writing and editing rather than any attempt to suggest that opponents will be gunning for them because they're Jewish. But that clearly was the writer/editor, not the player who said that.

It's shoddy writing by someone probably in the habit of writing about Jews having targets on their backs. Because I thought the same thing SRP did the first time I read it.

Then I got urinated off because the article has no useful content.

This. And that sentence combines two completely unrelated topics (neither of which are interesting or in any way relevant) which makes people jump to unwarranted conclusions.

I happen to know any number of fine journalists who write interesting articles about developments in the Jewish community. This was not one of them.

All publicity is good publicity.

I strongly suspect there’s a resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue who is feeling otherwise.

I strongly suspect there is a former Director of the FBI who agrees...

When you get fired for doing your job, no surprise that you want to tell your side of the story.

From the NYT:

Comey devotes a good part of the book to his worry about the damage that Mr. Trump and his presidency are doing to the country’s future. We are experiencing a dangerous time in our country,” he writes, “with a political environment where basic facts are disputed, fundamental truth is questioned, lying is normalized and unethical behavior is ignored, excused or rewarded.”

I think his concern is genuine and not just for publicity or money. I share his concern especially when i hear intelligent people support him. This has nothing to do with being conservative or liberal.

It is frightening, Condor. Truly frightening. If anyone else feels differently, we would love some dissenting opinions over on the off topic board.
